Here for your perusal is WWI Remington UMC .45ACP US Army Model 1911 pistol serial number 3345 which was shipped in October 28 1918 serial number range 511-4657 per report "Serial Numbers of .45 Colt Automatic Pistols Manufactured Under Contract # P4537-3338Sa, Remington Arms-UMC to Major Lee O. Wright, Ord. Dept. USA, July 26, 1923. Anyone know if additional shipping information such as receiving organization/unit etc is available?
I have no idea how to answer your question, but recommend you post this on the Colt forum if you haven't already. Someone here may know the answer, but I think the odds are better over there.
A close up of the top of the slide would help decide if it is a refinish. I am not seeing the swirling polishing marks there that should be there.
Rem. UMCs are way harder to find than a US&S, especially nice with original finish.
